Many things about Ika Schulz hits the spot. Witness: her fine, physical form. That hits the spot. Her glowing skin, her tight behind, that smile—they all hit the spot. The fact that she loves to cook—ooh, that’s a big one. That’s a huge spot, hit.

What doesn’t quite hit the spot—what, in fact, misses the spot, by miles and miles on end—is our radar missing out on someone like her. We know, we know.

But, the important thing is we found her, and here she is, and we promise never to let her go.

Can you tell us more about yourself?I’m 18 years old and I love reading books like Shopaholic, Cocktails for Three, and Remember Me. Mostly girly novels.

That’s nice. How long have you been modeling?I think since 4th year high school, I was still 16 back then. It started when I joined a beauty contest, then may nag-alok na sa akin ng photo shoot. Then after that, ramp [modeling] naman.

And how do you find it so far?Masaya siya. I love what I’m doing. Gusto ko rin talagang mapasama sa Philippine Fashion Week.

And now that you’ve worn it, will you buy one for personal use?Baka hindi pa din. Ha ha ha!

You strike at first as a suplada type. Did we have the right impression?Approachable ako and madali talaga akong maka-close. In fact, ayako talaga sa lahat yung may makaka-away ako or makakasamaan ng loob.

Say in a bar, would you be kind enough to talk to a total stranger?Lapitan niya lang ako, tanungin niya ako, I’ll entertain you naman. Hindi naman ako yung parang snob, or I’ll just shoo you away. Hindi naman ako ganun.
